The oddest book you may ever read, both fantastic autobiography and ground-breaking autofictionCount Nicolas de Toulouse Lautrec de Savine was a hero in battle and a legendary lover in bed. A gambler ready to place the riskiest bets and a coward apt to flee his creditors in the middle of the night. A daring adventurer and a shameless swindler.
A racist, a chauvinist, and an antisemite. Tsar of Bulgaria and a Chicago streetcar conductor. Was he all of these--or none of them?
This is the question Stella Benson struggled with as she tried to shape the Count's wild recollections into a coherent story. Which mattered more: the factual truth or the fictional truth? Her answer anticipates today's field of creative nonfiction--while telling a wild, funny, and unique tale.Literary Nonfiction.
